Houston got 18 inches of rain a couple of days ago. At my home in Navarro County, Texas, it rained 16 inches last October 23, and 4 more on the 24th, 20 inches in 48 hours. We had 80 inches of rain in 2015. Before last year the average annual rainfall was 34.5 inches and the record rainfall for a day was 9.5. We broke the daily record, dating back to the 1800s three times last year.
